 Ch. 4 Pract. Probs 40-42 

 Go over practice problems 40-42 in groups and as a class;

If these are mastered by all, go on to practice problems 43 and 44;

Tu 2

 Complete your detailed solutions to practice problems 40-45

 Possible survey on Circular motion (Act 4.9 and 4.10);

Activity 4.11 (activity takes place in hallway, then analysis 3-12 in groups in class)

W 3

 Finish Activity 4.11, whatever was not completed in class.

 Go over Activity 4.11 as a class;

Agree on big ideas from Position vs. Time graphs.

Work on Activity 4.12 in groups;

Motion Graphs overview:  we will learn how to use graphs of position, velocity and acceleration vs. time to better understand motion.

Th 4

 Finish Activity 4.12, whatever was not completed in class.

Possible Survey on position vs. time graphs;

 Go over Activity 4.12 as a class;

F 5

 Pract. Probs 45-47

Work on Activity 4.13 in groups; 

Go over Activity 4.13 as a class;

 You should be building understanding and skills so that you can take any of the three graphs and build the other two correctly.

 Activity 4.13 should be finished and mastered

(note: This week students will be further assessed on motion graph understanding.)

Hello, how's physics? 

Pass back book reports w/comments

Pass back circular and graphing surveys - dive back into graphing using survey

 Mr. S returns!

Final Term 3 Exam announced for Tues March 2

Tu 23

Go over passed-back surveys and Activities 4.11 thru 4.13 to get back into physics; Many students have lots to catch up on in the next week.

EQ with 4 intervals. 

Go over activity 4.13

--> the overview of motion graphs - we're graphing position, velocity and acceration vs. time, and there are connections between each.

if time...  Start on Act. 4.14
(Note: you have to fix the time axes of these graphs so they start from 0 and go to 3 seconds)

W 24

Ch. 4 Practice Problems 45-47 (review them and perfect them if you already did them with Mr. Aversa)

 Act. 4.14

(Note: you have to fix the time axes of these graphs so they start from 0 and go to 3 seconds)

Th 25

• Finish and review Act. 4.14 if not finished in class.  (Note: you have to fix the time axes of these graphs so they start from 0 and go to 3 seconds)
• Practice Problems 48-50

F 26

Remeber Final Term 3 Exam is Tues March 2 - assessing Ch. 4 to date.
